FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE LAB TESTING in San Diego

FIND THE ROOT CAUSE THROUGH LAB TESTING

Functional medicine lab tests are your way of taking back control of your health.

Compared to conventional blood tests from your doctor, our functional medicine lab testing offers a more in-depth range of biomarkers that provide you with a more detailed insight into the root cause of your health issues.

Each lab test is specifically designed to test biomarkers that show the link between different areas of your body and the impact that one area may have on the other. By seeing your specific detailed results, you can rebalance the areas that need it, in a more comprehensive way.

SUPPLEMENTS & PROTOCOLS

After lab testing, Neely will create your program that combines daily nutrition and functional medicine supplementation, along with easy to follow protocols to help you achieve greater health.

Not all supplements are created equal. It is important to note that the ingredients, sourcing, processing and testing, along with how the nutrients are absorbed in the body and the ratios of the vitamins and minerals within supplements, can be highly variable. Equil.life is one of the top rated functional medicine supplement companies in the United States.

If you feel that you are eating a balanced diet, and yet are still not feeling your best, this is a clear sign that your body isn’t absorbing nutrients as well as it should be. The biomarkers in lab tests can clearly show what nutrients your body is missing (such as the vitamins, minerals, amino acids, etc.). So, one of the easiest ways to get the nutrients into your body is through nutritional supplements. These are the food-based extracts of those vitamins and minerals that the body needs to help rebuild and restore it to its optimal level.

Functional nutritional supplements allows your body to rebalance itself at a faster rate than without it. This will help fill any nutritional deficiencies or gaps in your diet that you may have.

Through thorough research, Neely has found that Equi.life, is one of the best functional medicine companies because they test for contaminates, mold, use organic or wild sources, use the best quality extracts, and all are verified and tested by a third party. They meet FDA guidelines for heavy metals or contaminates.

PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER FOR YOU

Neely educates you on the importance of your daily nutrition and lifestyle habits, along with following specific healing-based protocols, and gives you an understanding of how these protocols will work within your body. All of this helps you to be consistent with your habits, restore your body back to balance, and thus, be more successful in your health journey.
